3×3 · top 3.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2015 · 2015TOKO01

Yuta Tokoi (床井祐太) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.59, set at Hiroshima Open 2019, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 166th in Japan. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since February 2015, he has put 85 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.86 in February 2015 to 8.59, a 62% improvement. Yuta has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
